UK government making it illegal to possess porn depicting pretend step-incest. With actual jail time possible. Potential 2 years in prison. Gotta save the kids I guess.

Good thing I only stream it rather than possess it then

Genuinely, why is this bad?

“What are you doing, step-cellmate”

… where someone is pretending to be under-18. You left the important part out.

Does it even need to be pretend??? If two step siblings as adults went into porn and preformed together is that somehow more illegal than any two non blood relatives engaing in porn? Its not really infuriating to me because im not effected but its the kinda stupid overreach that worries me about it becoming a popular censor thing.

ok so this is specifically if the plot pretends at least one of the actors is under 18? Why step in particular though. Shouldn't they just blanket ban any plot where one of the participants are under 18 in both porn and regular movies and such. like romeo and juliet and such.

Cool that actually makes it a whole lot better.

As a concept its not, but its so prevalent that you could easily end up with a captioned thumbnail cached on your computer somewhere without even realising it.

Since when is the censorship good?

It allows then to equate the two keywords for further legislation next year once the goalposts have moved

What are you doing, stepporn?
